Letters Patent No. 111,971, dated February 21, 1871.

IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE-PLACE GRATES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thename.

where it again pitches forward in the usual manner.

The lower part of the back and jambs are both set in over the bottom ofthe grate, in order to make the fire-space much smaller at the bottomthan at the top, in order to economize in fuel and to produce a greateramount of heat with a given amount of fuel than can be done by those nowin use, the back and jambs below the grate beiugleftsquare, in order togive space for the ash-pan, and, by means of the projections of the backand sides over the grate, all ashes are precipitated into the panwithout wast-e.

' The second part of my invention consists in a bar made of angle iron,either wrought or cast, and built in the wall immediately behind thegrate bottom, as a rest on which to start the projection at the lowerend of the back wall, and also to hold up the grate, which is doneeither by hooks cast on the bar orseparate hobks built inthe wall underit, the upper part of the grate being secured to the front by means ofhooks at the corners.

Having thus fully described the nature of my invention, a more perfectunderstanding of which may be had by reference to the drawing- Figure 1is a view of the grate complete.

Figure 2' is a sectional view of the same, showing the shape of theback, and also the iron bar under it, and the books that hold up thegrate.

A is the grate.

B is the front.

0 are the jambs.

Dis the back.

E is the iron bar under it.

E are the books by which the grate is held up.

Therefore I do not claim anything as new or original inthe grate orfront; but

What I do claimas new, and desire to secure by- Letters Patent, is-

The bar E with its hooks i in combination with the grate A, the jambs G,and back D, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
